Peace Be Still- Knowing Jesus

Today we start right out in prayer. We listen for the words of Jesus who says, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?" Our Suffering Savior, our Victorious King is our life and promise. We need not be troubled. His Word is our assurance. He never leaves nor forsakes. So we cling. We abide in the waiting. We call upon Him as dependent children, that He may lift us up and strengthen us in the waiting. This life is not your home. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Blessings in His presence!

Today I pray a prayer over you and then we slow it down and you pray the same prayer. I give you pauses so that you can talk to the LORD in the language I share. Pray outloud. Let Him hear your voice. Put passion and emotion into the prayer language. Go deeper. Open up. He loves you and is present to comfort and heal and help. Blessings in God's presence!

Today we'll be praying through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 and Lamentations 3:22-26. There are cries of the heart contained within each, promises of being sustained alone by the LORD. The days are evil, this is a message I am supposed to be sharing more and more. Our only peace shall be found in the LORD Jesus. We are waiting. We are waiting for his deliverance. We are to be taking our eyes off this world and looking alone to Him. Press in and share these type of messages with others so they strengthen themselves for the coming days and look to Him to be sustained.

How does God mainly speak to us? He speaks to us by His Word. The Holy Spirit puts scripture on our heart. As we meditate on the Word that speaks, our thoughts are redirected to His mind, His will, His heart. Right now the Spirit of God is longing for His people to return to Him, to return to their first love. He is asking us to turn from friendship with the world. In my waiting, this is a repetitive message that is coming. For our own sake and safety, we need to come out of the world. I pray that is a message for you to meditate upon. Times are evil. Put no hope in worldly systems or prosperity. Trust in God alone. Be reflective as you listen to the prayer and be willing to meditate on wordly things the LORD is calling you to turn from. Blessings in His presence!

James 1:5-8 is our scripture focus for what to do in the waiting. God does not despise our asking. He gives generously and without reproach. Our part is belief. Oftentimes when He gives wisdom it will be contrary to our own ways and thoughts. He can challenge us to come out from the crowd and operate in a way that reveals His life and power. Too many shrink back and do not want that type of attention. Too many Christians want to blend in and be liked versus being obedient and following the leading of the Spirit. If you are someone who want wisdom, position for belief. It's the only solid ground to stand on by faith. Blessings in His presence! Please share us with a friend! Visit intothewaters.com for more.

As most are aware, the LORD is shifting me. In this time, I am in a holding pattern. Holding patterns are hard. It requires waiting without knowing. So what does waiting without knowing look like? Waiting with God is active and hope filled. We are to wait with expectation. Though I've felt great pressure during this time, I find peace and rest in time with God. He will bring me through. If that speaks to you, join me as I share a little how waiting and hope are intertwined. And how there is a picture behind hope in Hebrew, a rope. The rope represents an attachment that builds expectation. Press in during the waiting, the breakthrough is coming! Blessings in His presence!

Today position to hide yourself in the Peace who alone is Jesus. He is the Lamb in the midst of the throne who will shepherd us and lead us to eternal fountains of living waters. He is our focus of worship as we wait expectantly for His return and our homecoming. Blessings in His presence!

When we pray the psalms, we pray them through the New Covenant. Follow along today as we use Psalm 121 as inspiration. Jesus is referenced. He is the Maker of Heaven and earth, Colossians 1:15-17 & John 1:1-3. We look beyond our mountains of problems and beyond forces of darkness attempting to destroy us, instead looking to Jesus. We are on a path of ascent to know Him and be transformed into His likeness. Worship Him in this way today! Visit intothewaters.com to sign up for our email blog!

Today is a breath prayer exercise that coaches you into the place of eternal youth, the perpetual childlike state that is ours in Christ.

Let go of the facade of having it all together and being in control. Come and rest and experience His peace! Blessings in His presence! Visit intothewaters.com to sign up for our email blog!
